MLC STUDENTS (from left Sophie, Grace, Dorothy, Shayoni and Sophie) turned their gaze to a brilliant sky last Wednesday to marvel at the solar eclipse. Donning solar-filter glasses the sol sisters could watch the morning moon flit across the sun without cooking their retinas. Science teacher Chris Ansell said the yellow ball of the sun first appeared as if it had a litte bite out of it. “It got bigger and bigger until we got 52 per cent cover.”

Editor Jane Hutchinson

>>

n July 2003, my sister, Julie, was murdered by her husband, Jamie Ramage, in the family home in Balwyn that she had left five weeks before. After killing her, he buried her in the bush. He was sentenced to 11 years’ jail but served less than eight; he was released last year. I helped his family to stop him returning to Balwyn. I don’t ever want to see or hear from him again.

I am very proud of my sister’s children [son and daughter]; they are both doing very well and she would have been very proud of them. But I don’t like to talk too much about them as it is still very difficult for them.

Because of what happened to Julie, I campaign on the issue of domestic violence whenever I can. I am communications co-ordinator with the Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service Victoria and each year I help with White Ribbon’s Walk Against Violence through the Melbourne CBD [on November 23, from Melbourne Town Hall].

Walking with a group of likeminded people is really empowering and sends strong messages to the community. I didn’t attend the recent Reclaim the Night and Jill Meagher marches, but they are similar issues; family violence and any violence against women comes from certain belief values around rigid gender roles and some men’s sense of entitlement. If we want to end violence against women we need to challenge how women are viewed, and get the good men to no longer be bystanders.

Holding a march is symbolic as it brings together those working at the

NOVEMBER 21, 2012

coalface with those who want to create change and end family violence. At Camberwell I will talk about how family violence exists in all communities and how hard it is for women to talk about it, let alone be courageous enough to leave an abusive relationship.

Before my sister was murdered, she didn’t know she had been the victim of family violence and neither did I. Perhaps if we had known we would have done things differently and she might still be alive. I want to speak about the issue so others have the choice to stay safe.

A White Ribbon Walk and forum is on Thursday, November 22, at 10.45am, Camberwell Civic Centre, 8 Inglesby Road. Jane Ashton will speak before the march to Camberwell Junction and back at noon. A free barbecue will follow.

All welcome.

Nude calendar exposure a sticky wicket for club

BY ALISON BARCLAY abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

WHEN a group of handsome young cricketers wiggled out of their whites for their 2009 nude calendar, it seemed a harmless and highspirited way of raising funds for the Deepdene Uniting Cricket Club.

But the club’s decision to shoot the bucolic frolic in a Kew park — and to leave a video of the event on its website for two years – caused embarrassment during its bid to win a licence to serve alcohol in that same park.

Appearing before the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation last week, the club’s managers said they could not explain why they had made the video but conceded it was ‘‘poor judgment’’ to post it on the website.

The video was reported to the police by the Protectors of Public

Lands (PPL), one of nine objectors to the licence application.

In stills obtained by RL, one cricketer reclines naked on the Hays Paddock pitch, his vitals covered only by a cricket cap.

Another peeps from behind a tree, while another bares his bottom while flexing his biceps.

Boroondara council environment and infrastructure director David Powell said council required professional photographers to seek permission to shoot in its parks but that ‘‘according to our records’’ the club had not done so.

Asked if the council had a position on nudity in council-controlled public places, especially where children might be present, Mr Powell said: ‘‘Council has not considered this matter to my knowledge.’’

In September, the commission granted the cricket club a licence to sell and serve alcohol after matches

in Hays Paddock, where a new pavilion is being built.

It is reviewing its decision at the request of objectors, who say liquor consumption would spoil the amenity of Hays Paddock, which has bush wetlands and an adventure playground as well as sports ovals. ‘‘Police have previously been called to the park because of latenight disturbances caused by members of the applicant club, including loud music and yelling,’’ PPL secretary Julianne Bell told the commission. ‘‘The granting of a licence to enable late evening use three nights a week will only exacerbate this problem.’’

Deepdene Uniting Cricket Club president John Franklin did not respond by deadline to RL’s request for a comment.

The commission has yet to announce its decision.

VOX POP DOES CHADSTONE NEED ITS OWN TRAIN STATION? WOULD YOU DRIVE THERE IF THERE WAS A STATION? LIZZY DEN DULK, Ashburton I think it would be useful but it really would depend on where the train went. It would be most convenient for people going to and from the city. If I was coming from home, I would still drive.

FIONA ANDERSON, Hawthorn East Yes, I think it would be wonderful. A train station to Chadstone would make the shopping centre a lot more accessible to everyone. Whether I would take the train here would depend on the circumstances but it would be great to have the option.

ELLEN SCULLY, Toorak Absolutely – I think that a lot more people would access the shopping centre and it would make travelling for parents with children a lot easier. I think it would also make Chadstone a more appealing place for not only shopping but also eating.

Disabled a priority

VCAT approves McMansion roofs

BY ALISON BARCLAY abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

BY BRIDGET FITZGERALD

BASIC disability access is a welcome priority for Boroondara council, according to the head of an advocacy group.

Eastern Disability Access Resource chief executive AnnMaree Colborne said the biggest inhibitor for people with disabilities was an inability to access public transport, buildings, and a difficulty catching taxis or crossing the road.

“We’ve all got capabilities and they have the same right as anyone else to have the same level of access,” she said.

Boroondara council has released a draft of its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2013–17 for public consultation. Community feedback surveys will be accepted until December 5.

The plan aims to improve accessibility facilities, reduce barriers to employment and training, and change discriminatory attitudes and practices.

Australian Bureau of Statistics data indicates 19 per cent of Boroondara residents have a disability.

Glenferrie councillor Steve Hurd was a member of the Boroondara Community Disability Advisory Committee for several years before he was elected to council in October and is the first blind councillor to be elected in Boroondara.

4 BOROONDARA REVIEW LOCAL

>>

THE flat, McMansion-style roofs Boroondara council is seeking to limit have won the thumbs-up from the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which says they can alleviate ‘‘a bland and boring situation’’.

VCAT senior member Russell Byard, approving an eighttownhouse development at 362 Belmore Road, Balwyn, said the proposed f lat roof was suited to the ‘‘emerging character’’ of the area.

bution to neighbourhood character’’.

Council opposed the application

by Stephen Graham, who runs his landscape business from the house on the site, on grounds of excessive bulk, lack of private open space, overshadowing of neighbours’ open space and the ‘‘discordant’’ flat-roof parapet.

At an urban planning meeting on September 24, Boroondara councillors unanimously passed a motion that would require new buildings in heritage overlays to have roofs with a slope of greater than 10 degrees.

Ironically, planning officers had found flat roofs were less common in non-heritage areas, where architects were free to design new buildings.

The council said the proposal did not have enough parking, and a resident objector said there was nothing to stop the future occupiers using their garages for storage and parking their cars on the street.

Mr Byard imposed a condition that the garages must not be used in such a way as to prevent the space being always available for vehicles.

Mums’ network gives new life to old nursery gear CHRIS HOPKINS

‘‘All too often it is suggested that mimicking or replicating existing styles is the only way to respect or complement the existing neighbourhood character,’’ Mr Byard said. ‘‘However, respect and complementing... might be better achieved by a contrast, and by adding something attractive and different to what may be, in some instances, a bland and boring situation.’’

Mr Byard said new dwellings were ‘‘frequently of superior quality in size, design and material’’, often had flat roofs and made ‘‘their own contri-

SWAP SHOP: Yvette Gebert hosted the St Kilda Mums exchange program at her Kew home

NOVEMBER 21, 2012

POSITIVE action came calling at a Kew home last week when cots, prams and other items for children were dropped off as part of a citywide exchange program.

Volunteer group St Kilda Mums recycles nursery equipment across Melbourne. More than 150 volunteers hold regular “donation days” when locals are invited to drop off their unused items.

Founding committee member Jessie Macpherson said the network was set up to support those who could not afford to buy new items for their babies and children.

“There’s a lot of waste,” she said.

“People use it for a couple of years then throw them away.”

Ms Macpherson said op shops could not accept cots and prams because of health and safety regulations, buther group repaired and cleaned items for recycling.

Brian goes from retiring mayor to presidential service SUPPLIED

BY BRIDGET FITZGERALD bridget.fitzgerald@fairfaxmedia.com.au

ONE-TIME Hawthorn mayor Brian Bergin spent a few months looking for the right way to spend his retirement before he discovered volunteering at Ashburton Support Services.

He was elected as its new president this month after joining the group in May, saying he was surprised and humbled that his peers had put their faith in him so quickly.

“I was very flattered and I’m relishing the task,” he said.

The group works with elderly people, subsidising the Meals on Wheels service and providing assistance so clients are able to live independently at home.

Mr Bergin is based mainly at the opp shop, the Ashy, at the corner of High Street and Welfare Parade in Ashburton.

Camberwell battle back to VCAT abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

THE battle to redevelop Camberwell’s Target and Safeway building will return to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in February, with Boroondara council set to defend its ban on expanding retail space in the building.

VCAT last week granted the owner a permit to modify the building, including covering the multistorey car park and adding 16 specialty shops and a third large

retailer, with no increase in height.

But the development can go ahead only with a change to an agreement made in 1995 under the Planning and Environment Act that restricts retail to the current size of the supermarket and the department store.

RL understands VCAT has the power to force the council to change the agreement.

The proposal has been mired in controversy since 2006, when residents raised fears of disruption to the popular Sunday market, loss of car

parking and possible harm to trade at the nearby fresh food market and Burke Road shops.

Rumours that owner Sixty-Fifth Eternity would seek to add a residential tower were dismissed by a source close to the case as ‘‘a complete furphy’’. ‘‘The application before VCAT contemplates a commercial building on a site zoned for commercial use,’’ the source said.

After VCAT granted a permit last year, the council appealed to the Supreme Court, which in July

referred the sticking point of the 1995 agreement back to VCAT. VCAT deputy president Helen Gibson and senior member Laurie Hewet last Thursday issued a permit subject to the agreement being amended to allow more retail space and scheduled a five-day hearing for February.

Lawyer Paul Hobson, a spokesman for the Boroondara Residents Action Group, said the development threatened to be ‘‘a one-stop shop’’ that would pull trade away from strip shops and the market.

BOROONDARA senior citizens interviewing babyboomers about their future: now that’s an intriguing concept.

In fact, seniors are doing just that, thanks to a joint project of the Boroondara Aged Services Society (BASS) and Balwyn Evergreen Centre. Seniors are trained to become community researchers and so far 10 residents aged between 60 and 90 have been trained as interviewers, researching local community needs. Their first project is to interview local babyboomers about their thoughts on retirement and volunteering.

Gloria Gray, 85, says she finds the volunteer research role stimulating. ‘‘You really can find out what people think, which then helps us to consider how we can improve our volunteer programs,” she said.

It is hoped the findings will lead to new ideas on how to improve both the volunteers’ experience and a deeper understanding of the needs of those nearing retirement.

STREET LEVEL REPORT CRIME call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000

Boroondara residents are warned about travelling conmen posing as tradespeople. Crime Stoppers and Consumer Affairs say Victorians are being scammed by itinerant traders, and often lose thousands of dollars for shoddy home repairs or work that is paid for in advance and never done. Telltale signs include asking for cash up front and offering deals for ‘‘today only’’. Always ask for identification and check that the trader is registered on the Australian Government’s business.gov.au website before making a decision. Report any suspicious tradespeople to the national Travelling Con Men hotline on 1300 133 408.

KEW Police are seeking the owner of antique items, including several Shakespeare journals, seized during a police search of a house in Pakington Street, Kew, in September.

The items believed to be stolen also include an antique wireless radio and antique surgical instruments.

KOOYONG A lead-footed hoon was caught driving more than 40km/h over the speed limit and later recorded 0.131 on a breath test, more than twice the legal limit. Stonnington Highway Patrol clocked the man, 28, of Murumbeena, driving at 124km/h in an 80km/h zone on the Monash Freeway in Kooyong, near Toorak Road, about 9.30pm on Wednesday.

His licence was immediately suspended and he was issued with two infringement notices costing him almost $1200.

Mayoral disquiet over Yarra threat NEW Boroondara mayor Jack Wegman enjoyed a river cruise as his first official engagement last week.

It was a nice day for it, but Cr Wegman’s mission was to see the multi-storey housing projects rising tall and dark on the Yarra’s banks, and to hear from the Yarra Riverkeepers Association about the threat to this delicate environment. ‘‘I saw a few development sites from the river – they are outrageous,’’ Cr Wegman said. ‘‘The river should be left in a pristine condition.’’

Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s sudden move last month to stop further riverside development was ‘‘certainly a step in the right direction’’, Cr Wegman said.

But is protection guaranteed? ‘‘We can only try,’’ he said. ‘‘Nothing is set in stone – legislation comes and goes, ministers come and go. In the end, only the people are left.’’

Cr Wegman, who accepted the gold chains of office from departing mayor Heinz Kreutz on November 12, is a well-known advocate for heritage protection and sustainable development.

His first task in 2013 will be the public exhibition of Boroondara’s new neighbourhood character studies, which if enshrined in law will give greater weight at VCAT to Boroondara’s planning scheme.

A Boroondara resident for 28 years, Cr Wegman, 61, studied politics and psychology at the University of New South Wales before entering market research in the 1970s. He was elected to council in 2002 and served two double terms as mayor in 2004-06 and 2008-10.

He said the mayoral role was ‘‘fundamentally about service – how I can serve council and the community, rather than the glory of the gold chain’’. ‘‘The new team [of councillors] promises to be united, which is terrific,’’ he said.

ON BOARD: Boroondara mayor Jack Wegman

■ FLATS BID REJECTED A proposed block of flats that attracted 156 objections has been rejected as too bulky, too short of car spaces and likely to have a poor effect on a quiet Kew street. A Vermont South builder, Ogg Developments, had applied to build 21 flats on three storeys plus a basement at 48 Pakington Street, near High Street. The project would have required the removal of 15 trees and for residents’ cars to be parked in car stackers. Boroondara council’s urban planning committee refused a permit at its meeting on November 15. An application to demolish two 1920s houses and replace them with 33 flats at 312 and 314 Cotham Road was approved.

■ COFFEE THERAPY Caffeine aromatherapy smells will soon waft from a shop formerly ripe with the odour of fuel. The mower repair shop at 68-72 Whitehorse Road, Deepdene, will become a cafe and coffee-roasting business, with council granting permission for the new venture last week.

STEVE LIGHTFOOT

MP backing for Chadstone rail bid

BY EDDIE MORTON emorton@fairfaxmedia.com.au

THE Federal member for Higgins, Kelly O’Dwyer, has supported a bid by a consortium of corporate heavyweights to build four underground stations and a rail connection to Chadstone shopping centre.

The $2 billion plan, called Project Double Fault, proposes a fourkilometre underground rail network connecting the Glen Waverley line to the Dandenong line via a new station at Chadstone shopping centre.

The consortium, which includes NAB, KPMG and Grimshaw Archi-

tects, has vowed to pay most of the bill, leaving $700 million to the state government.

The proposal came less than a week after the state government gave final approval to Chadstone’s $500 million redevelopment, which will add two floors of retail space, a cinema and hotel to the centre, and two weeks after a truck collided with a train at a Dandenong level crossing.

Heyington, Kooyong, Tooronga and Gardiner stations would be turned into subway stations as part of the plan, which is aimed at tackling Melbourne’s congestion and

level crossing hazards. Ms O’Dwyer said community demand for a train line to Chadstone and the abolishment of level crossings had been constant since she took office three years ago.

RACV’s 2011-12 Redspot Survey revealed each of the four stations as an area of community concern, with Gardiner station, on Burke Road, coming fifth on the state’s list of top 10 Redspots.

The troublesome mix of train lines, tram lines, freeway entrances and exits has made the Burke Road intersection the longest-standing top 10 Redspot.

Six of Stonnington’s seven most notorious Redspots were the level crossings on Burke Road, Glenferrie Road, Toorak Road, Tooronga Road and High Street.

While Ms O’Dwyer commended the work of the state government on its level crossing safety efforts, she said state and federal government needed to give the Chadstone proposal serious consideration.

Public transport minister Terry Mulder said the government was open to discussing the development of Victoria’s rail network, but the proposal required funds that were not available.

Bell rings again for past pupils THE Past Pupils Association of Presentation College will next week celebrate their centenary with a gala dinner at Caulfield Racecourse.

The alumni celebration comes just months before the Windsor school, known as PCW, celebrates its 140th anniversary next year.

Paul Kelly and his sister Mary Jo Kelly will perform the school song, which they wrote, at the November 30 gathering.

The dinner will raise money for scholarships, the first time the school has asked the past pupils to raise funds.

Among the hundreds of college alumni are federal Member for Chisholm Anna Burke MP, journalist Jana Wendt and country and pop singer Diana Trask.

Long-time members of the Past Pupils Association, Andree Moloney (class of 1956), Marie Curlis (class of 1950) and Maureen Pontin (class of 1968), have been helping to track down past students for the dinner.

They said because of changed surnames through marriage, it has been tricky finding people, although a ‘‘grapevine’’ of former students has been helping them find others.

Anyone interested in attending the centenary dinner should contact Presentation College directly on 8517 2777, visit www.pcw.vic.edu.au or email lfalkenstein@pcw.vic.edu.au for more details.

TIME TO SHINE National Institute of Circus Arts students Suzie Steel, Liz Kajko and Whitney Muscat get in the mood for the National Institute of Circus Arts’ annual showcase. The yearly event gives graduating students a final chance to display their skills in front of teachers, friends, family and the industry. According to show director Meredith Kitchen, the process is a nervous one for the students as the industry is so competitive. “Students are well aware that talent scouts for some of the country’s best shows attend the showcase, and in many cases their performance on the night has led to some amazing careers,” she says. Performances run from November 22 to December 1. Tickets at nica.com.au

NOVEMBER 21, 2012

THE Stonnington Highway Patrol is pleading with drivers to let their mobile phones ring out after figures revealed more than 55,000 Victorian drivers were booked for using their phones at the wheel last year.

Sergeant Michael Free heads a team of 11 Stonnington Highway Patrol officers and says mobile phone usage while driving has to stop.

The current penalty for using your phone while driving is $282 with three demerit points.

“There is a misconception that hands-free devices eliminate the danger,’’ Mr Free said. ‘‘In fact, any distraction is still a serious hazard. ‘‘People seem to think that answering their phone is much more important than focussing on the road.”

More than 168,000 fines have been issued for driving while using a mobile over the past three years across Victoria.

Adam Power, a driving instructor in Melbourne’s south east for Driving School Melbourne, said there are few more dangerous things that people can do while driving than using a phone.

“You put your friends and your family at risk every second you look away from the road,” he said.

“Our multitasking skills are already stretched when you get behind the wheel. Adding another distraction such as friends, radio, mobile phones, adds another second to your reaction time.”

■ PLANNING MISTAKE The recent decision by Planning Minister Matthew Guy to endorse the proposed $500 million expansion of Chadstone Shopping Centre is bad news for Boroondara residents and retailers.

The road network around Chadstone, and especially Warrigal Road, is already heavily congested.

This is principally due to the fact that public transport access at Chadstone is so poor and because the centre already has 9500 free car parks, now to be increased to about 11,000 under the new approval. The

too, were their wives and children.

We also know potentially thousands of Australians will become ill after being exposed to asbestos dust during home renovation projects, and more work needs to be done to raise awareness of the dangers.

Anyone contemplating do-ityourself renovations should seek professional advice about the presence of asbestos, particularly for houses built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

For further information visit health.vic.gov.au.

Margaret Kent / Asbestos law, Slater & Gordon

minor ‘‘traffic management’’ improvements announced by the minister as part of the project will be of little consequence.

By turning a blind eye to Chadstone’s adverse impact on the road network as it expands its footprint over the southern and eastern suburbs of Melbourne, the Victorian government is really conferring a generous implicit subsidy on the centre that will make it increasingly difficult for retailers in Camberwell and other centres to compete.

Reach for the sky before sun goes down CRAIG ABRAHAM

Boroondara is in the grip of a development boom, writes ALISON BARCLAY, but can the neighbourhood character and infrastructure survive?

B

SUPPLIED

efore Steve Hurd was elected to Boroondara council last month, he slew a mighty monster -- an 11-storey block of flats which, if built, would have blocked the only thing he can see with his legally blind eyes. ‘‘I have a tiny bit of sight in my right eye, and I always look at the sunset every night just to recognise that I can see something,’’ says the new Glenferrie ward councillor who, with his neighbours, successfully petitioned the council against the project. But even that glimmer of light may be lost to him.

On October 1, VCAT approved a nine-storey block for his street. ‘‘I used to be able to just see dots of the lights at the MCG. Now I can’t, because the Swinburne buildings have got in the way,’’ Hurd says wistfully.‘‘I know Swinburne has been there a long time . . . but they need to look at where they can do better developments.’’

As Planning Minister Matthew Guy moves to overhaul Melbourne’s planning strategy and councils fight to enshrine their

ARI HATZIS

TOP: Aerial, aka Shrek, under construction at Camberwell Junction MIDDLE: Riva Hawthorn BELOW: Evan Cathcart at the site of Brilliant Hawthorn

neighbourhood character studies in law, many Boroondarans feel the same. Some residents will have their say this week at Mr Guy’s forum called Melbourne, Let’s Talk About The Future, which RL will report on next week.

But along the train line from Hawthorn to Camberwell stations, on Glenferrie Road and the litter-strewn ‘‘enterprise corridor’’ of Camberwell Road, the transformation has begun.

In that 3km span, RL has counted 45 multi-residential projects currently before council and VCAT or under construction – many inspired by the former Labor government’s Melbourne 2030 strategy that advocated packing new dwellings along public transport routes and into ‘‘activity centres’’, formerly known as shopping strips.

Of these projects, 21 are in Hawthorn, 12 in Hawthorn East and 12 in Camberwell. One, a sixstorey proposal for Cookson Street, probably piggybacked off the now defunct high-rise redevelopment of Camberwell station.

While weeds grow lavishly around the empty Hawthorn Receptions building at 555 Glenferrie Road, its owners await their day in VCAT to get 94 apartments approved. Down the road at 660A, 12 storeys with 125 student flats threaten to loom above Glenferrie station; at the time of writing, VCAT members Jeanette Rickards and Megan Carew were preparing their verdict.

According to RL’s calculations, the approved projects will add another 2346 flats, while 1147 more await a council or VCAT decision. Assuming all get built and gain an average two occupants each, 7000 or so extra people will be moving into Boroondara’s busiest and densest areas in the next few years.

Most will not have seen a letter from Yarra Valley Water, dated 2004 and often cited in VCAT hearings by activist Mary Drost, that says: ‘‘... the sewer system in and around the Camberwell Junction principal activity centre is currently at capacity’’ ,with no upgrades planned for at least 10 years.

Responding to RL’s questions, a Yarra Valley Water spokeswoman said all planning applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine the impact of the 10 BOROONDARA REVIEW LOCAL

development on the sewerage system, and the servicing conditions developers must meet to ensure adequate sewerage capacity.

But Mary Drost, convenor of the development watchdog Planning Backlash, fears the ageing infrastructure will fail under the pressure.‘‘I’m shocked,’’ the former Camberwell City councillor said on perusing RL’s extensive list of multi-res projects.

Of the 19 listed appeals to VCAT, she says: ‘‘Boroondara has so many cases in VCAT, and we can’t afford it.

But the developers retain barristers for these hearings and add the legal bills to the eventual cost of the apartments, so they don’t care.’’

One prominent planning lawyer reportedly charges $12,000 a day, Drost says.‘‘I would love to get rid of these barristers.The applicants should speak for themselves.’’

Boroondara councillors have argued strenuously against overdevelopment, even overturning planning officers’ advice, yet many residents blame the council for towers such as Camberwell’s 14-storey, green-glass Aerial, or Shrek as mayor Jack Wegman calls it.‘‘We have a choice at council – we can refuse something, accept something or accept it with modifications,’’ Cr Wegman says. ‘‘If you refuse or impose conditions, the developer goes to VCAT. If you support the applicant, the objectors, who are articulate and well funded – which is a good thing – will fight the conditions.

You are forever caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. ‘‘There is very little council can do that will please everybody.You are much better off trying to work with developers to get something you can live with rather than going for all or nothing.’’

With the state government still pushing growth, the thickets soon to rise along transport corridors align with the council’s policy of keeping multi-res away from lowrise precincts, Cr Wegman says. ‘‘There will be growth in Boroondara, and if our aim is to preserve the residential streets, the hinterland, the question is: where will the growth go? If you can encourage it to go to the commercial areas, hopefully that will take the pressure off the residential areas.The government is between a rock and a hard place

Hawthorn, a nine-storey block of 94 one and two-bedroom flats to be developed next year by Chinese firm Topgan. Priced from $295,000, each flat will have a sparkling glass balcony and a verdant view over parks and heritage rooftops that might just compensate for being hard up against the railway. ‘‘In fact, being so close to the train, people see it as a positive,’’ Cathcart says.‘‘When it first came on line, we thought ‘uh oh’. But nobody has mentioned it as being a drawback. From an investment perspective we expect them to

be strong, too. Auburn station is great for attracting white-collar city workers as tenants.’’

Hawthorn and Hawthorn East, where 44 per cent of dwellings are rented, are already tops with tenants. But why do they want to live here? ‘‘They like the prestige private-school belt. It’s strange; even if they don’t have kids to send to those schools, they still like being near them.’’

One block north of Lilydale Grove in Rathmines Road, resident Kate Dear wonders if the leafy outlooks loved by Boroondarans

can withstand the might of the developers’ enthusiasm. Dear and 50 neighbours are trying to save the Edwardian mansion at 1045 Burke Road which, despite its heritage overlay and a garden by acclaimed 1930s designer Edna Walling, is the subject of an application for demolition and replacement with 33 flats. ‘‘This is also a threat of opening up more and more possible development all along these main roads but outside of the main activity centres, which would change the character of

these lovely old suburbs forever,’’ she says.‘‘VCAT might force this developer to change the design.

But if any compromise means the house will be knocked down, it is a tragedy. We have lost so many of them already.’’

As Boroondara’s new council muscles up for the battle royale of its 2012-16 term, Cr Hurd is lining up reliable witnesses to guide him in contested territory.‘‘I have a lot of friends in Boroondara,’’ he says, “and being a lawyer and having worked on complex cases, I know what questions to ask.’’

wo acrobats in an elephant suit are walking a tightrope strung high above a ferris wheel overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Below, crowds gather to watch sideshow attractions ranging from contortionists and trick cyclists to daring Swedish performer Miss Marie Thelin, who sets herself alight before diving off a15-metre platform into a small pool.

The year is 1912. Australia’s population is approaching five million, the Prime Minister is Andrew Fisher and an unsinkable ship is about to set sail from Southampton for New York.

It’s also the year that a team of engineers travelled from the United States to Australia to build the first of seven Luna Parks around the country. Only one has survived in its original glory. Five of the originals closed permanently and Adelaide’s was shipped to Sydney after the Depression.

Next month, Luna Park in Melbourne celebrates its centenary having opened its gates on December 13, 1912.

Built on a wedge of swampy St Kilda foreshore, long before diversions such as televisionand Xbox came on the scene, it was modelled on the original Luna Park in New York’s Coney Island, and attracted more than 22,000 patrons on opening night.

For sixpence, visitors to Melbourne’s Luna Park were treated to circus-like attractions that would raise eyebrows at WorkSafe today.

In its heyday, as catchcries of ‘‘Roll-up! Roll- up!’’ competed with the resident brass band, children received carpet burns as they flung themselves down slides on hessian bags, romantics posed for photographs in front of an animated Waning Moon, and patriots hurled crockery at an effigy of German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm. Scallywags who wrought havoc at the park were kicked out, literally, receiving a boot to the bottom as they bent over to exit through a small door at the back of the Giggle Palace.

Early attractions included English conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton as well as 12-year-

old Baby Ben who, long before the nation’s obesity epidemic, was crowned the “world’s fattest boy”, weighing in at 159 kilograms.

“It was a little bit carnival back then,” says Mary Stuart, Luna Park’s executive director.“There were all sorts of very quaint, fun forms of live entertainment. And some which were politically incorrect.”

Despite the decline in live entertainment over the years, the park still attracts about 800,000 visitors a year.These days, there are 18 rides and attractions, including old favourites such as the Ghost Train and Dodgem Cars, and a selection of contemporary rides such as the Spider, Enterprise and Pharaoh’s Curse.

Stuart joined Luna Park in 2005, but her link goes back much further. Her earliest Luna Park memory is of riding the Rotor, an upright rotating barrel, which closed in 1977 after 26 years. She recalls getting off and throwing up. Incidents involving children, junk food and spinning rides are known by staff as a “code rainbow”, and occur with “monotonous regularity”.

A former teacher and union official, Stuart says running Luna Park was never on her to-do list. But when trucking magnate Lindsay Fox and partner Virtual Communities Limited bought it for a reported $8 million in 2005, she accepted an offer to come on board.“The brief was to find out what the problems were, and fix it,” she says.“It needed, and it still does need, a lot of investment.”

The park has undergone major works since Stuart’s tenure began seven years ago. Lindsay Fox says preserving its heritage is important for future generations.“When we got involved it had been through a period where it hadn’t had a lot of love. We wanted to make sure it lasts another 100 years.”

“Luna Park has been good to me,” says Fox, who recalls sneaking

UP TO SCRATCH: “There’s been a lot of blood, sweat and tears,’’ says maintenance manager Mark Harrison

on to rides for free as a boy 67 years ago.“I have rich memories of growing up in this place. I took my six kids there and they take their kids there now.”

In the longer term Fox says he’d like to make Luna Park part of a charitable trust that returns money to the community. He also plans to talk to the state government about incorporating Luna Park in a larger development of the St Kilda foreshore, similar to Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens, which has theatres, concert halls, and an aquarium in an 8.5 hectare park.“There’s no reason why you couldn’t do something like that here.”

But keeping heritage alive doesn’t come cheap. The park has a staff of 200, including specialists such as architects and engineers.

The iconic Mr Moon Face at the entrance had a few facelifts before it was finally replaced a few years ago. The Ghost Train, built in the 1930s, needs regular maintenance.

Millions of dollars have been spent on the heritage-listed

carousel. Built in 1913, the 68 hand-carved wooden horses and two chariots were painstakingly stripped back and repainted in accordance with their original plans, obtained on a trip to the Philadelphia Toboggan Company headquarters in Pennsylvania a decade ago.

Like many attractions at Luna Park, the merry-go-round is a functioning museum piece as much as it is a form of entertainment.

Last year, part of the bridge under the park’s best-known ride – and the world’s oldest continually operating wooden roller coaster – the Great Scenic Railway, was completely rebuilt.

Luna Park’s longest-serving employee, maintenance manager Mark Harrison, compares the rollercoaster to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. “There’s been a lot of blood, sweat and tears over that thing,” says Harrison, who started out 22 years ago as a ride operator on the Disco Swing, now known as the G-Force.“It’ll never be finished.

There’s always something to do to

keep it up to scratch.”

Still considered a feat in engineering, the rollercoaster’s track is perched atop 322 posts and held together with 12,800 screws.

Unlike modern coasters, it operates on a cable car system where the train is winched to the highest peak before being released to the forces of gravity.

For 100 years, highly skilled brakemen (and, these days, brakewomen) have ensured the safety of thrill-seeking patrons – is good news considering the train can still reach speeds of 60 kilometres an hour.

Although the park lost it’s beloved Giggle Palace to a fire in the ’80s and no longer employs staff to scare visitors riding the Ghost Train, it has maintained a worldwide cult following.

When film director Tim Burton visited Melbourne a couple of years ago and was asked by the state government what he wanted to do during his trip, visiting Luna Park was the one and only destination on his list.

Big mouth moments Six of Luna Park’s best known fans share their memories of the St Kilda icon. By Matthew Eade

ANTHONY CALLEA, singer

KATE CEBERANO, singer

I remember driving past as a kid with my brother and sister in the back seat, fighting, but when we’d get close to Luna Park we’d stop because we wanted to come in!

I think as a kid I had more guts to go on rides because now I’m usually the person at the bottom holding the bags and eating a bucket of hot chips.

Luna Park to me means recreation, St Kilda style. I’ve spent many idle days riding the Scenic Railway, pashing on the Ghost Train and bringing up my lunch after the Rotor – heaven and hell in one place! Happy birthday old girl, you don’t look a day over 90!

MICHAEL GUDINSKI, music promoter I’ve been called a big mouth, but this is the real big mouth.

I remember the Big Dipper, but my greatest memories are with my wife on the Scenic Railway.

In fact, the legendary Skyhooks Horror Movie clip was filmed here. It certainly put Mushroom Records on the map. It’s great that they’ve restored the park and are keeping it moving. Kylie would love the carousel, she loves carousels.

SPENCER McLAREN, actor I have always been a huge fan of rollercoasters, so when I moved to Melbourne at 14 I was so excited to discover we had one in our own backyard. Luna Park became a staple through my teen years as the place to just “hang” and annoy the adults. It was also the place to make yourself sick after going round and round and round on all the rides.

LINDSAY FOX, trucking magnate and Luna Park co-owner I’ve been coming to Luna Park for 67 years. As a kid I’d come in through the gates and there’d be the whiff of waffles, then we’d stop at the milkbar for the best milkshakes in town. From there we’d head around the back of the Giggle Palace, where you could sneak in for free and then we’d head to the Big Dipper. Then there were the River Caves where more young men felt the breasts of more young women than just about any other place. Luna Park has been good to me.

MARY STUART, Luna Park executive director When I was younger my grandma lived on Canterbury Road and being able to come to Luna Park was a huge treat. I remember after some fairy floss and a ride on the Rotor I did actually throw up, but I managed to get off the ride first!

Members of the public can enter a ballot to win free admission and access to all rides at Luna Park on December 13. The community day, marking the park’s centenary, includes entertainment by Daryl Braithwaite and Anthony Callea. The ballot closes on December 2.

FROM STAGE TO SCREEN Kew filmmaker OLIVIA PENISTON-BIRD’S daughter isn’t the only one to have fallen in love with calisthenics

A

DANCE AND DRAMA LOVER: Olivia Penison-Bird with daughter Nova, 4.

s a mother of two young daughters, director and producer Olivia PenistonBird wasn’t looking for a new film project last year.

She had her hands full with baby Luna and was searching for an activity for Nova, then 3, who loved dance and drama.

Turns out she found both, just around the corner from her Kew home. Peniston-Bird booked Nova into calisthenics classes at Regent Calisthenics Club, which rehearses in a Kew East church hall.

“It was as they described it: a mixture of ballet, gymnastics and theatre, which is pretty unusual, and I was immediately taken by it,” Peniston-Bird says.

“Some of the parents started telling me about the history of the Regent Club and it became apparent very quickly that there was a huge cross-generational story,

which I was really fascinated by. It was shouting out to be made into a film.”

One year on and what was originally planned to be a 10-minute short film to make with her partner Nigel Karikari has turned into a 90-minute feature documentary, tentatively planned for release in mid-2013.

It’s little wonder the film blew out as all the classic storytelling themes are there: glamorous costumes; the cross-generational story between teacher Brooke Synnott, her mother Diane Synnott, and grandmother Enid Feltham (who started Regent in 1939); the passion of a local community club; and, of course, the build-up to the penultimate state competition in Ballarat every October.

Chatting at her Kew kitchen table, while her two daughters play at the nearby park with

a babysitter, Peniston-Bird is passionate about the mysterious world of calisthenics that she found herself drawn into.

“As a filmmaker I am really interested in people who dedicate their lives to anything,” she says.

“The thing that I really love about calisthenics is the sense of community and the way they encourage parental involvement.

People live for the club and they make lifelong friendships.

“This is not just a fleeting experience for most calisthenics people; it really is something that they live and all their family and friends are involved.”

Peniston-Bird was surprised to discover that calisthenics is a uniquely Australian activity.

While its roots go back to 19th century Europe, since coming to prominence in the Victorian goldrush era, the sport has evolved to

include song-and-dance routines performed in elaborate costumes.

Today there are hundreds of clubs across Australia.

Peniston-Bird’s resume is impressive.A filmmaker for many years, she did a five-year stint in London and worked as an assistant director on big movies, including a couple with Daniel Craig before he was James Bond.

On her return to Melbourne, Peniston-Bird decided she wanted to work on her own films.

“I was pretty much starting again,” she says.“No one is going to pay you to direct until you have developed that skill, so you have to go out there and start making things. As a director you have to find and create your own projects.”

Making Calisthenics: A Love Story through their production company Thirdrow Films has been a labour of love for Peniston-Bird

and Karikari.The project has been mostly self-funded apart from an online fundraising campaign last month, which raised $15,000.

Peniston-Bird says the hardest part is juggling between filming and her young family. She is delighted to have met the Synnott/ Feltham family and believes they will resonate with audiences.

“You have to fall in love with your subjects because without that absolute determination that you’re going to make it, no matter what, films just don’t get made,” she says.

“You need a vision and then the determination and persistence just to continue, even if you get knocked back.”

2 ONE ANOTHER

T

he Sydney Dance Company is known for its contemporary productions which attract widespread critical acclaim, and star-studded premieres. So why is its artistic director, Rafael Bonachela, 40, so eager to impress a bunch of kindergarten kids? ‘‘Everyone gets a Shakespeare play, everyone goes to see football, everyone knows about sports, but what about dance?’’ Bonachela says, explaining he has plans for performances for three-year-olds.

“Sometimes people can be scared of contemporary dance. I understand, because dance is not in the curriculum in Australia but hopefully that’s changing. In 2014 or maybe next year we’re having

our first preschool matinee.”

The Barcelona-born choreographer’s interest in educating the public is indicative of his egalitarian attitude to an art form that can seem exclusive.

It is this fresh approach, along with his enthusiasm for exploring new ideas, that has gained the dance company a new following.

Ticket sales have jumped nearly 50 per cent since Bonachela came on board in 2009.

His latest production, 2 One Another, uses poetry and narration as a backdrop to the physical expression of the dance world.

The piece was largely experimental, defined only by Bonachela’s determination to base

it on the 16 dancers who feature in the work.‘‘I decided that all the vocabulary, the material, and the content had to come from within the four walls of the studio,’’ he says.

Bonachela invited poet Samuel Webster to observe the dancers absorbed in various exercises, one of which involved pairs in a “silent conversation that was driven through movement”.

“Sam’s mission was to watch that conversation and interpret it,” Bonachela says.“He wrote the most wonderful, amazing, evocative and rich text about things that he saw.”

This sparked a kind of dialogue between the poet and the performers, with the dancers

re-interpreting the words into movement and also recording parts of the poetry which composer Nick Wales then “wove into the music to give it texture”.

The resulting work is about “16 individuals who have different personalities, different ways of moving, different ways of approaching things” – but at the same time, Bonachela emphasises that dance doesn’t have to be about anything.

He says much of the joy comes from letting the imagination run wild when watching a performance. “The great and positive thing is that so many people have stopped me after the SDC shows,” he says.

“I remember this guy going, ‘Mate, I’ve never been to a dance show, my girlfriend brought me and I didn’t know what it was about but I loved it’, and I was like, ‘that’s great’, because it’s the best thing when you are just free to imagine.”

MMP was founded in 2010 in partnership with more than 20 prestigious advertisers under the guidance of publisher and founder Antony Catalano. Since June, we have expanded to more than 36 publications and websites, including The Weekly Review, Review Local newspapers, Melbourne Times Weekly and reviewproperty.com.au.

hospital in Italy for ďŹ ve months before spending three years as a prisoner of war.

After the war, they told our parents and families not to ask questions of POWs because it was too horrendous to talk about. I was probably 5 per cent off my rocker because we were all disturbed, but I didn’t talk about it for more than 30 years.

I’ve been married for 58 years and we have one daughter, Sandra, and three grandchildren.

Then, in 1987, my daughter said, “Dad, I know nothing, Mum knows nothing, please write it down.’’ It took me ďŹ ve years to put pen to paper and my story is quite long.

In the past 10 years I have been very involved with an ex-POW association and I found I could talk once I made contact.You start to release.

Russ has a damn good memory.

We didn’t meet up again after the war until about 14 years ago, here at Russell’s house. I found out he lived near me in Surrey Hills through the Odd Bods.The Odd Bods group was started by four guys who came back from England who had been on different squadrons.

Russ and I had been on an English squadron, not an Australian squadron. On Anzac Day, guys like us had nowhere to go, so they formed this group, the Odd Bods.

We don’t meet up very often but if either of us was in trouble I could ring Russ and he could ring me, and we’re there for each other.That’s the funny thing about the air force boys, you’re there for each other and they stick together.

For him to survive ying 1600 hours is really incredible. I’ll tell you how lucky this bloke was – of

all the air crew that flew, tens of thousands were killed. Of every 100, 51 were killed in action, 12 died from wounds, three were permanently disabled, 10 became prisoners of war, and 24 survived; it is just remarkable.

RUSSELL

PHOTOGRAPHS SUPPLIED

I had many brushes with death.

One time we were in Cairo and I was due to go up on an aircraft for an air test with six other guys.

For some reason I will never know, I got out of the aircraft and went back to the flight office. I just stood there reading a letter and someone said,‘Do you know that aircraft has crashed?’ Over the back of the ’drome there was a big black plume of smoke and everybody was killed. Why I wasn’t on that plane, I will never know.

I have a photo of us flying in formation over the pyramids. I took this photo with a little camera.

I have always prized that photo.

There were actually four of these Vickers Valentias [planes]. I went up to Syria in one of these. Funny thing was, we took about 30 British troops up in the old string bag and

it was a really hot day and they all got sick.

That aircraft’s top speed was 85 knots, which is about 110 miles an hour – a truck passed us on the road one day!

We had the biggest air raid one night in Bari [Italy, December 2, 1943]; it was as big as Pearl Harbour. Our airfield was about three miles north of the harbour and the German aircraft were flying over the top of us to divebomb over the harbour. We were frightened because we thought we’d be next, so everyone was running like mad to get away.

I flew with 80 different pilots, I had 800 take-offs and landings and all together I flew about 1600 hours for two tours of operations.

The last trip I did before I came home was to Yugoslavia to bring 38 little kids back to Bari.These poor little kids were dressed in sugar bags with the arm holes cut out.

We got them back and I’ve never forgotten that.

I came home in September, 1944, after three years and eight months and I reckon I visited every country in north Africa.

YOUNG SOLDIERS Jack (left) and Russell pictured around the time they first met in 1940 I often wondered when I got back to Melbourne what the heck they’d been doing. Everyone just seemed to be quite normal.

I thought everyone would be involved in the war effort, but there were quite a lot that weren’t.

My family didn’t even know that I was coming home. We docked in Port Melbourne and I just rang

them on the phone and they got a hell of a shock, because I was a shocking letter writer.

Terry and I have been married for 62 years. We have three

children: Margot, Elizabeth and Andrew; six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

ODE TO MY SUBURB Third-year National Institute of Circus Arts student BRETT FRANZI lives in Camberwell. He tells us his favourite place to ‌ GET A GREAT BREAKFAST Santucci’s on Toorak Road has a great courtyard. I have the eggs Benedict and a latte.

BUY A LAST-MINUTE GIFT I’d make a card if I’d left it too late.

CATCH UP WITH FRIENDS Rivoli Cinemas. I love going to the movies with mates.

HAVE A BIG NIGHT OUT The Greyhound Hotel in St Kilda at weekends.They always have great shows with circus and dance.

FIND A NICE BOTTLE OF WINE Leo’s Fine Food & Wine in Hartwell.

It’s easy to grab a bottle with the groceries.

haken-not-stirred martinis might be James Bond’s drink of choice, but in between dispatching bad guys, special agent 007 likes the odd glass of Bollinger Champagne – and has done for 50 years. To celebrate this – hiccup – milestone, Bollinger threw a Bond-themed bash on the 55th floor of the Rialto at Vue de Monde last Tuesday, replete with sultry torch singers, a noirish band, creatively titled nibbles (Octopussy a particular favourite) and some of the sharpest guests in town.

For Your Eyes Only! The guests enjoy a glass...or two Ashley Hoang was neither shaken nor stirred, just a little blurred at the Bollinger table.

Women suffer more pain

Moran the man sinks Demons STEVE LIGHTFOOT

A DOMINANT all-round game from American pitcher Pat Moran fired Malvern to a convincing mid-week win over Melbourne in the Vic Summer League baseball.

Moran pitched all seven innings and batted in three runs as the Braves came from behind to take the points 7-4.

The night started slowly for Malvern, with Moran conceding two runs in the opening inning as the Demons showed why they are firmly entrenched in the top four.

But from there, and despite failing to score in the first two innings, Malvern was in complete control.

Moran strangled Melbourne’s hitters, keeping the Demons off base and the game under control until the decisive fifth inning.

After clawing back one run in the third, Malvern blew the game open with five in the fifth, thanks again to Moran.

With two runners on base, he stepped to the plate and thumped a long home run to bring in all three Braves. And by the time he was back on the mound they had added two more to lead 6-2.

Melbourne snatched two in the

AWAY SHE GOES: Malvern’s Pat Moran belts the game-changing three-run homer in the fifth inning seventh but Malvern scored one more of its own before the two hours were up to clinch the win.

With two hits, three runs batted in and seven tight pitching innings, Moran was a clear man of the match.

But with the Braves out-hitting

Melbourne 12-5, he got plenty of support at the plate.

Malvern coach Adam Burton was full of praise for his team against a strong Demons line-up. ‘‘We played the game right, that was the most pleasing thing,’’ he

said. ‘‘Rather than missing our opportunities or leaving guys on base we moved guys around and just did the fundamentals well. ‘‘It was probably our best game for the season.’’

EWEN McRAE

MELBOURNE’S women were again put to the sword in Vic Summer League baseball, losing 21-0 to Springvale.

After a 24-1 loss against premiers Doncaster the previous week, Melbourne had to face the runners up and perennial challengers and were hopelessly outgunned despite some promising signs.

Nicole Mether started on the mound for the Demons and conceded three runs in the first inning and four in the third before Rachel Limburg took over pitching duties for what became the final two innings.

Springvale ran in the maximum seven in both, although there were some positives for the Demons with a strong performance from Jessica Smead at left field and a number of runners getting on base without scoring.

Melbourne coach Randall Vavra was philosophical.

“We’re getting better, we’re doing some good things and we’re progressing,” he said.

ARI HATZIS

Chargers expect big things from AFL draft

BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au AFTER a successful year that delivered premiership glory and AllAustralian jumpers, Oakleigh Chargers are hoping for one of their most successful AFL drafts this week.

Two of the Chargers’ brightest prospects – Hawthorn key position player Kristian Jaksch and Balwyn medium forward Jackson Macrae – are both expected to go in the top 10 in the draft on the Gold Coast.

And Chargers regional manager Mark Smart is particularly proud of how far Balwyn’s Jason Ashby has developed in the past 12 months. ‘‘He’s had a terrific year. We thought the best way to develop him was as a running half back and he’s been able to grow into that role nicely,’’ Smart said.

At 187cm, Ashby could play several roles, which Smart believes will help him at the draft. ‘‘He’s very driven, I could see him

becoming a running f lank-type player and if he gets a bit stronger he can go back into the midfield,’’ Smart said. ‘‘He’s got terrific endurance so he’s certainly suited to AFL. ‘‘Jaksch can play back and forward so that certainly helps his draftability and we think he’s certainly first round and possibly top 10. ‘‘And Jackson [Macrae] has had a terrific year. He’s progressed through all the levels and performed really well, which is a credit to him.’’

In a year that’s light-on for key position players, Jaksch is a particularly enticing prospect for AFL clubs as he also took on leadership responsibilities with the Chargers this year. ‘‘That sort of leadership comes quite naturally to Kristian,’’ Smart said. ‘‘He’s a great role model and when he has something to say the group certainly takes notice.’’

With the changing rules at AFL level, versatile ruckmen have become invaluable and Smart believes 203cm Chris Prowse will

be closely looked at by several clubs despite missing 10 weeks of the 2012 season with a foot injury. ‘‘I thought his grand final for us was fantastic and I hope he gets an opportunity,’’ Smart said. ‘‘He covers the ground really well and he’s quite athletic for a big man. ‘‘He can go forward and kick goals and he can provide defensive pressure and they’re all areas that are important for an AFL ruckman.’’

Smart also nominated two other Chargers as potential draftees. ‘‘Ryan Exon had an outstanding year. He certainly has the versatility to play as a midfielder and a running back,’’ he said. ‘‘And Sam Collins played on all the key forwards for us this year and did a terrific job.’’ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

MATCH REPORT

BRIEFS

Pace and spin get Magpies home ARI HATZIS

BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au PACEMAN Will Walker and the leftarm spin of James Bett combined to deliver Camberwell victory over North Melbourne on Saturday.

After posting 9/314 on the first day of the Premier Cricket match, the Magpies had to work hard as North scored quickly but ultimately fell short, bowled out for 235.

Walker did the hard work early and snared both the openers to finish with 2-45, while Bett came on through the middle overs, slowing the run rate and picking up valuable wickets to end with 4-15.

On a lightning fast wicket at Camberwell Sports Ground, it was Walker who made the first breakthrough when he got Max O’Sullivan to edge to Magpies skipper Simon Hill in slips.

Brent McMinn (18) looked like he might provide some headaches for the home side, but Brendan Drew came on and hit the stumps early to have North at 2/49.

That brought Matthew Love to the crease to join opener Eric Ghasperidis, and the pair threatened to take the game away from the Magpies as they scored freely.

At one stage North was 2/160 and an unlikely win possible.

But teenager Walker returned to the attack and sent Ghasperidis packing for a well-made 60 to swing momentum back to the home side.

■ HAWTHORN IN CHARGE Hawthorn is in a strong position after the first day of the clash with North Balwyn in the ECA’s Dunstan Shield. After winning the toss, Hawthorn amassed 9/286 from its 80 overs at Macleay Park.

■ CLUBS FORM ALLIANCE Camberwell Magpies invited players from Hawthorn Cricket Club to train with them last week, the first step in a new relationship between the two clubs. On a night when Victoria’s Premier cricketers returned to their home clubs, Magpies coach Shannon Young chose Hawthorn after identifying the club as innovative and progressive.

GOT HIM: Camberwell spinner James Bett (centre) celebrates the wicket of North skipper Carl Sandri for a duck Bett was introduced to the attack and had immediate effect as North lost 3/6 to his off breaks, all of them LBW. Drew returned for a second spell and again hit the stumps to remove the dangerous Love for 88 and all but seal the result for the Magpies.

With the exception of Trent Lawford (39) there was little late resistance as Bett grabbed a fourth LBW

and Adam McDermott snared a late wicket to finish the innings.

Camberwell coach Shannon Young said his team could have bowled better early in the inning.

“We were probably a little bit too full and bowled both sides of the wicket for a period,” he said. “But once we were able to arrest that momentum we were able to control it a little bit and from that perspect-

ive it was quite pleasing.”

Camberwell now heads to Wangaratta for T20s against Hawthorn-Monash and Richmond, something Young said his team was looking forward to.

“We play Richmond under lights at the Wangaratta show grounds so the boys are up and about for that,” he said.

■ KIKER DOES THE JOB An unbeaten 156 from captain Geoff Kiker dragged Balwyn’s second XI to victory over Mt Waverley in Sub District on Saturday. Chasing 227, Balwyn slumped to 5/50, before Kiker took control. Balwyn reached the target with seven wickets down and batted on to make 9/288.

Kew breaks through for first win KEW overcame a shaky start to break through for a first win of the Sub District cricket season, beating Bayswater by 43 runs at Victoria Park.

The home side knocked over the visitors for 190 in reply to 253, a result which gets Kew’s season back on track as it seeks to go one better than last year’s runner-up finish.

Kew made the first breakthrough when Sam McTaggart bowled Tim Sugumar for 15, with Bayswater on 31.

Mark Collins joined Dean Connell at the crease and the pair threatened to take the game away from the home side with a partnership of 61.

And when Kew bowler Harry Short

rolled his ankle on the second ball of his first over, the game appeared to have swung in Bayswater’s favor.

But it all turned around just before the tea break, when Kew skipper Francis Gill combined with McTaggart to take four quick wickets and control of the match.

It became a foregone conclusion soon when Gill (3-46) trapped Harry Cowling in front to leave the visitors 6/129.

Bryce Galvin made a fighting 61 not out, but wickets continued to fall at the other end and Ben Waterman took the last two wickets to wrap up the victory.

McTaggart was the pick of the bowlers with 4/41.

Gill said his team probably got the worst of the conditions throughout the game, which made the win all the more satisfying.

“We got sent in on a wet track last week and then it was a very good batting wicket this week, but that just goes to show we played a pretty good game,” Gill said.

A CAPTAIN’S knock from Ben Hanley led Balwyn to victory over Mt Waverley on Saturday.

Chasing Mt Waverley’s 176, Balwyn passed the total for the loss of five wickets, batting on through the afternoon to finish on 8/246.

Hanley top-scored with 70, while Stuart Baum and Andrew Walpole made 50s.
